BMV-712 Installation Issue - Charge Goin In

I installed the monitor and it seem to be working OK when it comes to the consumed amperage. It does show the current coming from the alternator when the engine is running.

It does not show the current coming from the chargers when we are plugged in the Marina’s 230V. When the chargers are on it still shows the consumed amperage [negative value].

Any ideas?

We are on 2012 Jeanneau 509

The negative lead from the AC charger is probably incorrectly connected directly to the battery. It needs to be connected to the other 'load & charger' side of the shunt.

The only thing that should be connected to the battery negative should be the 'battery' side of the shunt.
